  1. Basic Animal Groups Charlotte Martin References

  2. Basic Animal Groups • Grade Level: 4th Grade • Content Area: Biology • Academic content standards: students will interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. They will also locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media • Students can get involved by getting into groups and each group will research a basic animal group and find information which the teacher will then assist them into putting into a presentation.

  3. Basic Animal Groups: Main Menu Invertebrates Birds Amphibians Fishes Reptiles Mammals

  4. Invertebrates • Invertebrates were the first animals on the Earth to evolve. They came to be around 600 million years ago and they are thought to have evolved from microorganisms • 97% of all animal species alive are invertebrates Main Menu

  5. Characteristics of Invertebrates • They have NO backbone. • They are ectothermic, which means that their body temperature varies depending on their environment. Main Menu

  6. Examples of Some Invertebrates • Worms • Sponges • Mollusks • Insects Main Menu

  7. Fishes • Fish were one of the first VERTABRATES to evolve. The first fishes appeared around 510 million years ago. • The first fishes were jawless, it wasn’t until later on that they evolved to have jaws making them the first animals to have jaws. Main Menu

  8. Characteristics of Fishes • They are vertebrates meaning they have a backbone. • They breathe using gills. • They have no limbs. • They are ectothermic meaning their body temperature varies depending on their environment. Main Menu

  9. Examples of types of Fish • Tuna • Salmon • Beta Fish Main Menu

  10. Amphibians • These were the first animals to live on land instead of water. They evolved from fish around 370 million years ago. • Although they can live on land, most amphibians still live in aquatic habitats meaning they can live on land and water. • There are about 5000-6000 species of amphibians today. Main Menu

  11. Characteristics of Amphibians • They are vertebrates. • They are tetrapod's meaning they have four feet. • They are ectothermic. Main Menu

  16. Examples of Reptiles • Turtles • Crocodiles • Lizards • Snakes

  17. Mammals • These animals evolved from reptiles about 200 million years ago. The first mammals ate only insects and only came out at night. Today there are over 5,000 species of mammals that are spread across every continent.

  18. Characteristics of Mammals • They are vertebrates. • They are tetrapod’s . • They are endothermic. • They have hair. • They have three bones in their ears. • Their jaws are made up of only one bone.

  19. Examples of mammals • HUMANS • Monkeys • Elephants • Seals • Lions and Tigers • Whales Click on the whale to learn more about whales which are my favorite animal!
